CULINARY VESSEL.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JosEPn H. RESSLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pittsfield, in the county of Berkshire and State ofMassachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCulinary Vessels, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in culinary vessels, and theobject is to provide a pot or vessel, having a cover which is soconnected therewith that hot water or other lic uid can be drained fromthe vessel without urning the hands or body from the steam or liquid.

The invention relates to certain novel features of construction andcombinations of parts which will be hereinafter described and pointedout in the claim.

In the accompanying drawing :Figure 1 is a view in side elevation. Fig.2 is a top plan view. Fig. 3 is a detail.

A, represents the pot or vessel, and 1, 1, are clips secured to theupper sides of the vessel. One of the clips has a slot 2 therein whichis made so that the opening of the slot is toward the rear of thevessel, and the other clip has a similar slot 3 which opening is alsotoward the rear of the vessel. On the front of the pot is secured a hookThe cover B is provided with two slotted openings 5, 5, through theouter edge, which are adapted to fit over the clips 1, and on the frontof the cover perforations 6, 6, are formed for draining off the waterfrom the vegetables and the like, and over these perforations a hingedlid 7 is placed, which is adapted to permit the surplus steam to escapeand when the pot is tipped by grasping the handle 8 on the vessel topermit the drainage of the vessel, the lid will fall away from theperforations and permit the water to flow therethrough without theremoval of Specification of Letters Patent.

the cover. A handle 9 is placed on the cover for removing it from thevessel.

In placing the cover on the vessel it is inserted beneath the hook 4 andthe clips 1 on the vessel enter the slotted openings 5 in the cover, andthe cover is given a slight push to enter the slots 2 and 3 of theclips, which hold it in place, so that the cover cannot come off when itis tilted and the liquid is being drained from the vegetables, Ofcourse, to remove the cover it is withdrawn from the slotted openingsand by lifting the cover over the top of the clips it can be withdrawnfrom beneath the hook.

It is evident that many slight changes might be made in the form andarrangement of the several parts described without departing from thespirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to limitmyself to the exact construction herein set forth, but

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

A culinary vessel having clips on each side edge thereof, and a hook onthe front edge, said side clips having slots therein extending towardthe rear of the vessel, a cover provided with perforations adapted to becovered by a hinged lid, elongated slots in the cover adapted to passover the clips, the front end of the cover adapted to lit beneath thehook on the front edge of the vessel, and the side clips adapted tooverlie the ends of the elongated slots whereby the cover is held inposition.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
